Insurance premium continues to fall for the majority of programmes in the general aviation market, driven down by the exceptionally high level of capacity. Even rotor-wing programmes have been enjoying the benign conditions.

The general aviation insurance market is currently split in its approach to its two main sectors. For fixed-wing renewals, capacity is driving competition and prices are falling as a result, while for rotor-wing renewals the high level of losses is driving prices up, although at a slower rate than earlier in the year.

The general aviation insurance market is starting to become less soft, although different sectors are enjoying different treatment, according to risk profiles. Losses mean that rotor-wing renewals face particular challenges.
